+  "Distributed systems are hard." -Everyone.
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+#+BEGIN_PREVIEW
+This page is dedicated to general discussion of distributed systems, references
+to general overviews and the like. Distributed systems are difficult and even
+the well established ones aren't
+[[aphyr-post-network-reliable][bulletproof]]. How can we make this better? As
+SysAdmins? As Developers? First we can attempt to understand some of the issues
+related to designing and implementing distributed systems. Then we can throw
+all that out and figure out what /really/ happens to distributed systems.
